-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- If you 're thinking of setting up an amazing man cave or showing off a ginormous baby bump next year , think again .

A northern Michigan school on Friday released its 37th annual list of words and phrases that it believes should be `` banished '' from the English language , and it suggests that some classic -- and perhaps hackneyed -- should get the ax .

Lake Superior State University once again solicited people online to nominate terms they consider tired , overused or simply annoying . Based on those submissions , the arbiters at the school decided to put the following on this year 's chopping block : `` amazing , '' `` baby bump , '' `` shared sacrifice , '' `` occupy , '' `` blowback , '' `` man cave , '' `` ginormous '' and `` the new normal . ''

`` Pet parent , '' `` win the future , '' `` trickeration '' and `` thank you in advance '' also have been unofficially sentenced to linguistic exile for the crimes of excessive and inappropriate usage , according to the university in Sault Sainte Marie on the Canadian border .

`` Worn-out words and phrases are the new normal this year , but with some shared sacrifice , we can clean up the language and win the future , '' a school representative said in a written statement . `` With the addition of this year 's nominations , the list of words and phrases banished over the years has become ginormous . ''

`` Amazing '' -- arguably one of the most overused adjectives in the English language -- topped this year 's list of submissions , according to the university .

`` Banish it for blatant overuse and incorrect use ... to stop my head from exploding , '' begged Paul Crutchfield from Great Britain , according to the press release .

`` Anderson Cooper used it three times recently in the opening 45 seconds of his program , '' said Sarah Howley , a resident of Kalamazoo , Michigan , referring to the CNN anchor . `` My teeth grate , my hackles rise , and even my dog is getting annoyed at this senseless overuse .

`` I do n't even like ` Amazing Grace ' anymore , '' she complained .

David Hollis from Hubbardsville , New York , insisted that not all men are enamored with the concept of the traditional man cave .

`` It is not just overused , it is offensive to we males who do not wish to hunker -LRB- another awful word , often misused -RRB- down in a room filled with stuffed animal heads , an unnecessarily large flat-screen TV and Hooters memorabilia , '' he said . `` Not every man wants a recliner the size of a 1941 Packard that has a cooler in each arm and a holster for the remote . So please , assign ` man cave ' to the lexicographic scrap heap where it so rightly belongs . ''

Jim Eisenmann from Madison , Wisconsin , had some free advice for politicians hitting the campaign trail in 2012 : dump `` win the future '' or you may not win the race .

`` On its very face , it 's an empty , meaningless phrase , '' he explained . `` It basically says that anyone who opposes anything meant to ` win the future ' must want to ` lose the future , ' which is highly unlikely . ''

`` Ginormous '' seemed particularly irritating this time around , with contributors complaining that its usage shows a lack of proper education .

`` This combination of gigantic and enormous makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck every time I hear it , '' said Gina Bua of Vancouver , Washington . `` Each utterance reminds me of the high school drop-out that first used this offensive word in my presence . ''

`` This word is just a made-up combination of two words , '' adds an Andover , Maine , resident named Jason , who refused to offer his last name . `` Either word is sufficient , but the combination just sounds ridiculous . ''

As for `` baby bump '' -- a term used to describe a pregnant woman 's rounded belly -- this `` is a phrase we finally need to give birth to , then send on its way , '' declared Mary Sturgeon from Vancouver , British Columbia .

`` I 'm tired of a pregnancy being reduced to a celebrity accessory . Or worse , when less-than-six-pack abs are suspected of being one , '' said Afton , a respondent from Portland , Oregon .

Lake Superior State University 's annual `` word banishment '' list was first created at a New Year 's Eve party in 1975 . The school now claims to receive tens of thousands of nominations every year .
